What we do:
Supporting Institutional Strategy and Key Performance Indicators:
The Quality Team is responsible for coordinating University activity to support the institutional strategy, benchmarked against the University’s key performance indicators. The Quality Team supports and provides expertise to academic and professional staff as well as to other stakeholders, such as partner institutions and employers, promoting shared values and expectations. Quality assurance and enhancement activities provide the institution with a set of tools and processes to ensure that Aston’s programmes are aligned to the University’s strategic objectives, and provide value to its beneficiaries and stakeholders.
The work involves reviewing activity and identifying both good practice and areas for improvement, to positively enhance the student learning experience. In addition to this, the team is also responsible for interpreting national policy where this relates to quality assurance and enhancement and preparing the University for external audit and review.
Committees:
The Quality Team also supports a number of committees which form part of the quality assurance and enhancement processes at Aston. You can find more information about these committees on our committees page.
